Orange Peel Shrimp

I will occasionally get takeout from P.F. Chang’s when I don’t
feel like cooking and always order the orange peel shrimp. This is my attempt
at making it at home, which I think comes pretty close to the original recipe.
The shrimp gets quickly cooked in a hot wok and then mixed with a sweet and
spicy orange sauce that’s flavored with honey, soy sauce, and Sriracha. Because
the sauce is mixed with a little cornstarch, it thickens in just a couple
minutes and coats the shrimp with a thick, beautiful glaze. I like to serve it
with some brown rice and sugar snap peas for a quick and easy weeknight meal.
